21 Habits of Successful Photographers - #21: There’s More to Life than Photography

21 Habits of Successful Photographers is weekly video series developed by NYIP. Check out last week’s Habit, and stay tuned for more by subscribing to our YouTube channel.

NYIP Mentor and Industry Veteran Patrick Donahue, has studied the professional habits of the world’s most successful photographers.

The most successful photographers have developed passions outside of photography. Sometimes it’s a good idea to put photography on a shelf. The most successful photographers do just that. Find other things to carry you forward--family, friends, hobbies. Other passions will complete the picture of your life, in the biggest sense, and also help you make your next picture better, and then the next, and so on.
